Good list. For something to really prepare and fortify your inner life, I recommend "The Great Waves of Change" by Marshall Vian Summers. It's free online as an ebook. Here's a very brief excerpt: "Therefore, there are three stages in knowing something: seeing, knowing and acting. The knowing aspect of this, the second part of this process, involves a deeper resonance and self-inquiry. One must ask, “Is this the truth? Must I take action regarding this?” You can even take a position against what you are seeing to see what kind of response occurs within you. You may test it in this way. You may challenge it. But in the end, if it is true, you will see there is a great certainty that action must be taken regarding that which you see and know. Once this is recognized, the sooner you take action, the better. Only in rare circumstances does waiting offer any benefit at all. Most people are far overdue in taking action regarding things that they have seen and known. They are afraid to face the discomfort, afraid to face the self-doubt and afraid to give up some small perceived benefit in order to change their attitude or behavior in a way that is utterly beneficial to them."

[@ericechols7638]

The most IMPORTANT BOOK you should have is the Holy Bible. What you gentiles call (shtf) is the WOE or destruction of TMH, and your preparing to try to out last what's to come is not going to help you. TMH'S judgement has begun, and will turn to His wrath soon, this is because you have damaged his heritage Israel, rejected his holy son, the Christ cause you won't repent & your sins have increased, you have destroyed his earth. Within his judgement consist the day of the gentiles. Who can fight GOD??? Repent now or forever fall!!!🤨😇

[@Petrockpress]

I’d recommend a canning book to go along with the gardening.

[@margaloone7970]

PetRockPress I agree. People need to know how to can.

[@missmodern]

Did you know you can can meat? I didn't!!! A client just told me.

[@Shadow_Sonata]

Aside from standard prepping, you should also focus on "cultural prepping". Have a collection of books ranging from classics (Babylonian to Ancient Greece /Rome, Medieval, Renaissance, classical European/American/Asian) to myths/legends/ religious texts, art books, CDs /Vinyl of various music types, videos of films / TV/ cartoons / anime, etc. Textbooks and manuals can also be useful, even if if "out of date". Not just for your mental well being, but because of the rush to censor/ delete/ alter various forms of media.

[@benjamingrist6539]

Not to mention that, if we have a complete civilization collapse, those "cultural preps" would be indispensable in preserving culture and restarting civilization. It would be something like how books preserved in libraries in Ireland, Byzantium, and Persia helped pull Europe out of the dark ages.

[@vika.88]

I second that! That's what I've been doing. I'm hoarding what I can culturally and plan on getting a vault for those things, or if things get bad enough with the current sociopolitical situation, I'll figure out how to bury them in a way I can preserve it somehow. It's good to get older books that are considered "out of date" because a lot of modern books are heavily politicized and full of propaganda.

A valuable resource I've had is the second level boyscout handbook! Picked up once at a yard sale.

[@Lucy-jw5hl]

The foxfire series is literally the best! As a whole it covers gardening, canning, distilling, hunting, fishing, trapping, some good stories/lore, foraging, and so much more! They aren’t written with prepping in mind, but they’re the perfect knowledge bank.

[@jeanierussell201]

Lucy Mills I have all these books! They are wonderful!

[@misskat3218]

I totally agree!

[@wildflowerblessings]

Do they apply if you’re not living in Georgia or the Appalachians?

[@Lucy-jw5hl]

Somewhat. Things like how to can or cook certain things would apply, but the difference in flora and fauna at your location could render the gardening and hunting advise less useful. Additionally, climate can come into play. If a cabin would be suitable for your location, great, but foxfire doesn’t go into sod houses or yurts or other structures. There will always be something applicable, but there is less depending on your region.

[@DamystarkAngels]

What about a far northern region like Vermont?

[@patricedeavila4771]

For folks who have pets or livestock I would add a pet first aid guide, and a plant propagation book so you aren't reliant on seed companies for your garden.

[@DoloresJNurss]

THANK YOU for bringing up the importance of books! Sooner or later all civilizations fall, but the ones who rebuild the fastest are the ones that hold onto the most knowledge. Preserving knowledge is also a vital strategy for those of us who are disabled. If it comes down to preserving only those who have something to contribute, the more we can memorize, the more likely people will keep us alive. Knowledge is a transactable skill.

[@lindat383]

If you are disabled, a great skill to have would be a ham radio operator! Communication is crucial and would make you extremely valuable. That’s my goal.... that and to learn all I can about healing herbs.

[@effeojnedib7208]

Books are something we should never have enough of. Besides the ones in your video, The Art of War by Sun Zu and Book of Five Rings by Myamoto Musashi are in my library, as are several of Napoleon Hill's. Another way to obtain local information is through a county CERT training program. Our's had valuable hand outs to go with the FEMA booklets. I took the class for the medical training but gained much more than expected. We also learned how our county plans to respond to certain emergencies. We got hands on training in search and rescue, triage, transport and setting up a field hospital among other skills. Also, CERT members have regular meetings and updates. Thanks for your video.

[@karinhart489]

Kevin, yup CERT is a good common training to get your neighbors on board to get prepared. Who sponsors CERT groups varies depending on where you are, my city’s Fire Dept sponsors & trains CERT volunteers at its fire academy facility (basically an old fire station with extra property around the perimeter). Two countries away the sheriff dept sponsors CERT & has a specialized team to help evacuate large animals (horses & cows) during wildfires (animal control is under the sheriff there. Elsewhere it is the PD or Public Safety Dept.

[@candijohns9123]

I printed out the old school boy scouts guide, it has plant identifications, how to tie knots, bushcraft, how to set up camp, traps, fishing and more

I have a Weblow one :) it always amazed me!

[@bobketterer9119]

I think the name was the “field guide”, the hand book has a lot of “admin” items. The field guide has a lot of knowledge in it. I don’t even know if this is published any more.

[@americafirst9144]

Yard sales are good for old Boy Scout manuals.

[@Gandalfthegrey12]

Ball’s Blue Book guide to preserving, and Saving vegetable seeds by Fern Marshall Bradley are both must haves!!!

[@LucyM1968]

I also suggest everyone print off how to make basics. Seasoning mixes, brown sugar, pancake/waffle mix, biscuits and anything else you can make yourself with sugar/flour/spices vs. buying a box or relying on a box mix. As well as a good list of substitutions. That way if eggs are scarce, you know what to use instead. Same for oil or other things.

[@audreyhertz301]

There is a few videos on KZbin about 2 ingredient biscuits if anyone is interested.

[@outbackeddie]

I have found numerous prepping type books at Costco over the years. I have found books on military survival, gardening, first aid, building chicken coops, raising rabbits, etc. Take a look at your local Costco before you go wild ordering things from Amazon.

[@livingasagoat1301]

My wife and I just bought 4 different foraging books for the four corners of the US as well as a First Aid/Medical book and a book on tracking and hunting. For start. We already own a couple homesteading books, but plan to get more. As well as one on organic gardening.

@@45ACP_9mm The books are very different, because one year they had a very hard winter and almost starved. The TV show made everything look nice and easy, those day were very hard because many died of diseases that we have vaccines for now, yellow fever, scarlet fever, which if you don't know made Helen Keller blind and deaf, measles, chicken pox and many others.

[@christines3638]

I went back through those for meal ideas. Sunday dinner of homemade baked beans, a sweet brown bread made with blackstrap molasses. I added some dried fruit to it. I added a salad of turnip greens and strawberries. Even when beef prices come down, this will remain a family favorite

[@cherylT321]

Carlos Guns. I still watch it now that l’m older!

[@cherylT321]

Grand Catsmama. I’ve been watching Gunsmoke for the first time. Periodically in this show, down and out people will turn up who are near starving because of crop failures; really opened my eyes to how easy we have it today, and how easy it was to lose everything back then, if the weather turned the wrong way!

[@mightywind7595]

Along with getting the foraging books, start doing it now. Identify the edible plants in your area (make sure they are not sprayed, peed on by pets, legal to pick etc.) and start eating them now. Some have a very strong or bitter flavor and take some getting used to. Bonus: they are super nutritious and some are high in vitamin C. What will you do if oranges or other foods high in vitamin C are not available? Learn to eat small amounts now and if you do make a mistake you can get medical care, but if you wait and make a mistake later, let’s say in a quarantine or grid down situation, you might not have that option. Also have some activated charcoal on hand to counteract poison if you or children would ingest by mistake. Learn how to prepare foraged foods and the ones some people can’t eat- like pregnant women. I have been doing this and I am amazed at all that is around me that I can eat. Don’t wait to learn until you have no choice.🙂

Great list of books. I have most of them and have been devouring Robert Kiyosaki's books over the last few months too. He and Dave Ramsey have a lot in common I'm noticing. As for additional books I would add: - Pastor Joe Fox's book, "Survivalist Family Prepared Americans for a Strong America" - The Princeton Review, LSAT study guide ...or something similar to keep your mind sharp. - Carla Emory, "The Encyclopedia of Country Living" - A Bible ...or other religious literature of your choosing - A collection of National Geographics - The Farmer's Almanac - Thomas Glover, "Pocket Ref" ...it is amazing the amount of information in such a tiny package. For me I just picked up the "Wood Gasifier Builder's Bible", the "USA Constitution and Related Documents", the "Federalist and Anti-federalists Papers", and a whole box of children's books that are now suddenly banned from public schools for my kids and grandkids to read some day.

I would also suggest the SAS Survival Handbook, And books on foraging and edibles/medicines located in your area. For example I live in Texas so I have these : Wild Edible Plants of Texas and Medicinal Plants of Texas. Lastly I suggest the most current copy of the Nursing Drug handbook. It explains what certain meds are used for,dosages etc. Just in case you find meds youre not sure on just look it up. The local food foraging and medicine books because it does me no good to know whats edible in New Hampshire if I live in Texas obviously. Oh believe it or not an older boy scout handbook is also very VERY useful. I still have mine from when I was in BSA back in 1981!

And I would highly recommend permaculture books for the most food and the least amount of work. I grew a food forest and did nothing after I was hurt. Three years later I am still harvesting the food forest I was unable to plant. It reseeded itself. Gaia's Garden is an excellent book.

Back to Basics by Readers Digest. such a useful collection.

[@ShortbusMooner]

[@njm5991]

Also get Alton's Antibiotics and Infectious diseases book, he missed that one and should have been #2 on here. Its very important to have.

[@carlav8357]

Get a book on Bartering! What will b the most needed items and stock up on them for bartering! Have a skill, i.e. wood working, chef, repair skills, etc.

[@adcaptandumvulgus4252]

Foxfire books, all you'll ever need.

[@uptechextreme2921]

Another good book : Back to Basics -How to learn and enjoy traditional American Skills

[@bobford4760]

Out of the 100 or so books on prepping and homesteading, I consider this most important due to the diversity.

[@grannyprepper1181]

I have 1,2,5,6,8 and some of 10. As well as canning and food storage.

My local hospitals are the opposite of inundated with Covid patients. My PCP sat chatting with me for a full hour because his patient visits are down nearly 70% and he’s really worried people aren’t going in for essential preventative care. Other than that I agree with the books!

[@doricetimko332]

Thank you

[@renza481]

What about translation? I advise the 3 most spoken in pocket edition. And a notebook to make notes of all subjects in case you need to bug out after a bug in. (Or just as a summary).

[@rius3044]

Big thanks 🔥🔥🔥

[@Gun4All]

The lost ways another good book is Peterson's guide to plants, wild edibles they makes several different ones

[@rhodawatkins4516]

Field guides to flowers, trees, weeds, animals, etc. are useful and pocketsized for ease of use. I love them!

[@josephinecronin1195]

Can I recommend “The Martian” by Andy Weir. Inspirational and hilarious. Obviously of no specific practical value but it makes you feel good and inspires you in tricky circumstances. At least you aren’t stuck on your own on Mars! And he gardens.

[@kencarey3477]

Maps of backroads and gravels would be very helpful!

[@Aristoteles]

Book 11: An easy cooking book. No fancy recipes likes Indian Chicken Teriyaky. Just plain, solid recipes cooked with local vegetables.

[@arkansaslady1872]

Hi, I would suggest " the lost book of herbal remedies ", and definitely a home canning book. I love you videos, thank you.

[@thepump2271]

Finally thank you brother

[@ryonsbooks]

[@heywoodyablowme1201]

When all hell breaks loose by Cody lundin. Buy it immediately.

[@bycarolyndahl]

[@tennesseegirl5539]

I love your channel ❤

[@SI-GOD]

Wow. I consider myself a newby in prepping but I already have 2 of those exact titles and a few other simular books before I started watching prepping videos. Now if I can just make the time to read them. Lol

[@AC-qi9wo]

How timely, I'm heading to the Goodwill, to look for Sourdough recipes, gardening. I have two herb books, several magazines, I have found lots of good topics, for cheap.

[@iambatman6201]
